SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea's Kim Jong Il has reportedly dispatched his top nuclear envoy to Beijing to discuss restarting nuclear disarmament talks.
Today's trip comes a day after Kim pledged Pyongyang's commitment to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.
Kim made the disarmament pledge during a meeting yesterday with a high-level envoy from Beijing at the start of a week of diplomacy designed to get the six-nation nuclear talks back on track. A high-level U.N. envoy also is due in Pyongyang today.
North Korea walked away from the talks last year during a standoff over its nuclear and missile programs. The disarmament process includes the two Koreas, China, Russia, Japan and the United States.
Analysts say the about-face shows the regime is feeling the pinch from sanctions imposed after its May nuclear test.
